About SEF

The Snohomish Education Foundation (SEF) is a local 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that serves students and teachers of the Snohomish School District.

Between 1986 and 2023, the Foundation (through fundraising and administration of community scholarships) has granted over 3 million dollars in scholarships, over a 1.1 million dollars in classroom grants, has given over a half-million dollars in district-wide programs, and has given over $12,000 towards the purchase of new shoes for children in-need each year through a partnership with Snohomish Kohl’s and the Hansen Shoe Fund.

Our Mission is to elevate opportunities and possibilities for Snohomish School District students.
